beautiful oblivion


i spent my life expected,
learning the answers to questions i didn't want to be asked
always able to see what would happen next.

i wanted adventure,
wanted to experience a life unknown,
a life sidestepping the path that'd been mapped out for me.

i craved to set new footprints in a smooth plain of sand,
add a galaxy of stars to my own walk of fame,
stop reading the script that was already printed.

so i stopped waiting.
i stopped walking in the back of the pack, 
stopped following whoever led me.

i broke free.

not knowing where i was or where i was going or what i was doing was beautiful.

the love of being blind to the future swept me up in a swirl of improvisation.
rising with the tides,
falling with the stars,
climbing each step as it came.

not knowing was all the knowledge i needed to find a
beautiful oblivion.
